DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the embodiments to be described are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without paying any creative effort are included in the protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and features in the embodiments may be combined if not conflict.

The present application provides a method for processing cached information, comprising: receiving an update request for cached information; determining, according to the update request, whether a preset update manner in the update request is a batch update manner; determining an update processing manner according to the number of pieces of batch cached information to be updated, if the preset update manner in the update request is the batch update manner; updating the batch cached information to be updated according to the update processing manner determined. The present application further provides an apparatus corresponding to the method for updating cached information. In the present application, by this method, different processing manners may be used according to the number of pieces of batch cached information, the pressure of returning to the origin server is reduced as much as possible and the cache service may also be carried out stably and normally.

The method for updating cached information according to the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In an embodiment of the present application, a method for updating cached information is provided, which may be applied to a cache server. As shown in FIG. 1 , a method for updating cached information according to an exemplary embodiment is illustrated, comprising:

S101: Receive an update request for cached information.

The cache server receives an update request from an update request sending side, for example, receives an update request from an origin server.

S102: Determine an update processing manner according to a number of pieces of cached information to be updated indicated in the update request.

Wherein, the cached information may be information in any desired form, and may be stored in a desired manner. For example, the cached information may be metadata of related resources, and the metadata is stored on a disk.

Different update processing manners may be used for the different numbers of pieces of cached information to be updated. After receiving the update request, the cache server determines whether the cached information to be updated indicated in the update request is batch cached information. If the cached information to be updated indicated in the update request is batch cached information, it determines whether the number of pieces of batch cached information to be updated is greater than a predetermined threshold. If the number of pieces of batch cached information to be updated is greater than the predetermined threshold, the first update processing manner may be used. If the number of pieces of batch cached information to be updated is not greater than the predetermined threshold, the second update processing manner may be used.

S103: Update the cached information to be updated according to the update processing manner determined.

-   -   when the update processing manner is the first update processing         manner, update type and update request time are recorded, and at         predetermined time, cached information in the batch cached         information which has not been updated according to the update         type is determined and is updated according to the update type;         or     -   when the update processing manner is the second update         processing manner, the batch cached information to be updated is         updated according to the update type.

The update processing manners for updating batch cached information may comprise:

-   -   a. expiring the batch cached information in the specified         directory mandatorily; and     -   b. deleting the batch cached information in the specified         directory.

In order to reduce the processing pressure of the cache server, for the cache information to be updated indicated in the update request, a determination will be made as to, according to the number of pieces of cached information, whether to process the update request once receiving it or to process it at predetermined time. When the cache server receives the update request, it may judge whether the update request is a batch cached information update request, that is, whether there are multiple pieces of cached information to be updated. If there are multiple pieces of cached information to be updated, it is batch cached information. A predetermined threshold is set for the number of pieces of batch cached information in each specified directory, and the cache server will record the number of pieces of batch cache data in the specified directory in real time. When an update request for batch cached information in a specified directory is received, first, a determination is made as to whether the number of pieces of batch cached information in the specified directory exceeds its predetermined threshold. If the number of pieces of batch cached information in the specified directory exceeds its predetermined threshold, the first update processing manner is used. That is, the batch cached information will be updated at predetermined time, instead of updating the batch cached information once receiving the update request for batch cached information in the specified directory. For example, the batch cached information may be updated before dawn when the load is low. When the batch cached information is updated at predetermined time, first, cached information which has been updated according to the update type and cached information which has not been updated according to the update type are determined. And, the cached information which has not been updated is updated according to the update type. If the number of pieces of batch cached information in the specified directory does not exceed its predetermined threshold, the batch cached information in the specified directory is processed in batch. If the received update request is for the cached information of a single file, the cache server updates the cached information of the single file when receiving the update request.

In the first update processing manner, the cache server may record the update type and update request time in the update request in the form of a record table, and record the batch cached information to be updated in the form of rule expressions, for example, record the batch cached information to be updated in the form of regular expressions. In this way, it is convenient for the cache database to find all cached information to be updated when processing the update request, thereby saving the processing time and reducing the pressure of the database.

In the first update processing manner, if multiple update tasks are submitted for the same batch cached information before the predetermined time, the cache server regards the last update request as the final update task and records the time when the update request is received. For example, the origin server sends a task of delete *.png batch cached files in a specified directory to the cache server, and before the predetermined time, sends a task of expire the *.png batch cached information in the specified directory to the cache server, that is, the same batch cached information needs to be expired mandatorily. The cache server records the task of processing the batch cached information as expiring the batch cached information, and records the time when the update request of expiring the batch cached information is received.

In the first update manner, the cache server may record the update type and update request time in the update request in the form of a record table, and record the batch cached information to be updated in the form of rule expressions, for example, record the batch cached information to be updated in the form of regular expressions. In this way, it is convenient for the cache database to find all cached information to be updated when processing the update request, thereby saving the processing time and reducing the pressure of the database.

In the first update manner, if multiple update tasks are submitted for the same batch cached information before the predetermined time, the cache server regards the last update request as the final update task and records the time when the update request is received. For example, the origin server sends a task of delete *.png batch cached files in a specified directory to the cache server, and before the predetermined time, sends a task of expire the *.png batch cached information in the specified directory to the cache server, that is, the same batch cached information needs to be expired mandatorily. The cache server records the task of processing the batch cached information as expiring the batch cached information, and records the time when the update request of expiring the batch cached information is received.

In the present application, for the cached information cached in the cache database, the cache database counts that the batch cached information in a specified directory in real time according to different specified directories. When receiving an update request for batch cached information in a certain specified directory, the real-time count is compared with a preset threshold. Different processing manners are used according to the comparison result.

By such a processing manner, the cached information may be updated in batch efficiently and quickly, thereby reducing the pressure of returning to the origin server as much as possible and also ensuring that the cache service may be carried out stably and normally, which is the object of the present application. For batch update resources, according to the number of batch update resources, different policies are used, which is more practical and efficient. For example, for a scenario where there is a small number of cached information in a specified directory, that is, when the number of pieces of cached information is less than a preset threshold, the batch cached information may be updated directly, without maintaining the update request in the form of a record table, and when the batch cached information is to be updated, it is unnecessary to look up the record table. In this way, looking up the record table and judging the update type and update request time are reduced, and the batch cached information in the corresponding specified directory may be found directly from the cached information table and then updated, it is convenient and simple. In addition, for a scenario where there is a small number of cached information in a specified directory, that is, when the number of pieces of cached information is less than a preset threshold, the batch cached information in the specified directory may be found directly from the cached information table and then updated, this can ensure that the normal service of the cache is not affected, meanwhile, the returning of a small number of batch cached information to the origin server will not have great impact on the origin server. Under such a premise, the batch update task may be completed quickly, it is unnecessary to wait for the predetermined time for batch processing, and the pressure of processing the batch cached information at the predetermined time is reduced.

The method for updating cached information according to the present application may further comprise: storing the cached information in a multi-level index manner in the cache server. For example, the domain name may be used as the parent directory, and the corresponding cached information under the domain name may be correspondingly stored in the index subdirectory. As shown in FIG. 2 , a storage method using the domain name as the index is exemplarily shown. The domain name A corresponds to five pieces of cached information a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5, which are correspondingly stored in the directory for the domain name A. The domain name B corresponds to three pieces of cached information b1, b2, and b3, which are correspondingly stored in the directory for the domain name B. The domain name C corresponds to four pieces of cached information c1, c2, c3 and c4, which are correspondingly stored in the directory for the domain name C.

When the step 104 is performed, the batch cached information to be updated may be determined by means of a multi-level index manner. For example, in the update request, the batch cached information c1, c2, c3, and c4 need to be updated, it may be determined that the batch cached information c1, c2, c3, and c4 are stored in the directory for the domain name C, the querying may be directly performed in the directory for the domain name C, and then the batch cached information in the directory for the domain name C is determined.

The cached information is cached in a multi-level index manner, so that it is convenient to look up the cached information during the processing and pushing and then process and push the cached information. There is no need to look up all cached information by traversing them and process as in the traditional method.

The method for updating cached information according to the present application may further comprise: identifying different text formats of the same cached information. The identification method may be set according to actual needs, for example, different text formats of the same cached information are identified by strings with the same first bit, for example, the compressed version of certain cached information is identified by 1a, and the non-compressed version of the cached information is identified by 1b.

Before processing the cached information according to the update manner determined, it is possible to determine all text formats of the cached information to be processed by identifiers. For example, if the compressed version of the cached information c1 to be processed is identified by 1a and the non-compressed version is identified by 1b, then it may be determined, according to the identifiers, that the cached information c1 to be updated comprises two text formats: a compressed version and a non-compressed version. When processing the cached information according to the determined processing manner, the cached information c1 of both of the two text formats is processed.

By marking different text formats of the same cached information, the storage states of different versions of the same cached information are identified, for example, the compressed version and the uncompressed version are identified, it is convenient to process the same cached information of all different text formats at the same time when processing and pushing.

The technical solutions of the present application will be detailed below by a specific example.

In a specified directory a.com of the cache server, there are three files 1.png, 2.png, and 3.png. The latest processing time is 10:00 a.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

The origin server sends a request to expire all .png files in the specified directory a.com to the cache server at 13:00 on Aug. 10, 2019. After receiving the expiration request, the cache server judges that the update request is a batch expiration request, and judges whether the number of pieces of the batch cached information is greater than a preset threshold. There are three pieces of batch cached information. If the preset threshold is 2, the number of pieces of batch cached information is greater than the preset threshold. The cache server records that the update type of the batch cached information is batch expiration, and the receiving time TG of the update request is 13:00 on Aug. 10, 2019, and specifies all files ending with .png in the form of regular expressions for batch processing, for example, specifies in the form of *.png. The given time may be any time set by the cache server, for example, before dawn when the load is low.

The origin server again sends, a request to delete the batch cached information in batch to the cache server, that is, to delete all files ending with .png in a.com, at 15:00 on Aug. 10, 2019. The cache server stores the update request, and records the receiving time TG of the update request is 15:00 on Aug. 10, 2019. In this case, the batch update manner for the specified directory is batch deletion.

The client sends an access request to a.com/1.png to the cache server at 16:00 on Aug. 10, 2019. After the cache server receives the access request, it determines that a preset processing manner for the cached information is included in the preset processing manner for deleting the batch cached information mentioned above, and judges whether the update request time of the preset processing manner is later than the latest processing time of the cached information. It is found that the update request time of the preset processing manner at 15:00 on Aug. 9, 2019 is later than the latest processing time of the cached information at 10:00 on Aug. 9, 2019. The cache server deletes the resource, i.e., a.com/1.png, and sends a request to the target server, for example, the origin server, to reacquire the resource, caches the cached information of the resource returned by the target server, and records the latest processing time of the cached data as 16:00 on Aug. 10, 2019. Meanwhile, the updated cached information is pushed to the client.

After the above processing, in the cache server, the latest processing time of a.com/1.png is 16:00 on Aug. 10, 2019, and the latest processing time of a.com/2.png and a.com/3.png is 13:00 on Aug. 10, 2019.

At a given time, at 0:00 a.m. on Aug. 11, 2019, the cache server performs predetermined processing operations on a.com/1.png, a.com/2.png, and a.com/3.png. The cached information which has not been updated according to the update type is determined, and then updated according to the update type. Wherein, a.com/2.png and a.com/3.png have not been updated according to the update type, the cache server deletes the cached information of a.com/2.png and a.com/3.png, to complete the batch deletion request from the origin server.

In another example of the present application, there are three files 1.png, 2.png, and 3.png in the specified directory a.com of the cache server, and the latest processing time is 10:00 a.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

The origin server sends a request to expire all files in the specified directory a.com to the cache server at 13:00 on Aug. 10, 2019. In the batch expiration request, all files ending with .png are specified in the form of regular expressions for batch processing, for example in the form of *.png. After receiving the update request, the cache server judges whether the number of pieces of the batch cached information is greater than a preset threshold. There are three pieces of batch cached information. If the preset threshold is 5, the number of pieces of batch cached information is less than the preset threshold. The cache server directly finds all the cached information in the specified directory a.com from the cached information table, i.e., the cached information of the three files 1.png, 2.png, and 3.png, and then expires them to complete the batch expiration request from the origin server.
